Unmasking Recovery: Supporting Neurodivergent Clients with Eating Disorders

We are thrilled to invite you to the 2025 CREDN Conference, Unmasking Recovery: Supporting Neurodivergent Clients with Eating Disorders—a local gathering of providers dedicated to advancing the field of eating disorder care. Hosted by the Columbia River Eating Disorder Network (CREDN), this year’s conference highlights the unique challenges and strengths of neurodivergent individuals in recovery, emphasizing the need for more inclusive, adaptable, and affirming treatment approaches.

As we continue to foster an engaged and supportive professional community, we look forward to reconnecting in person for meaningful discussions, networking, and education.

This year, we are honored to welcome Lana Farris, ND, who will present Exploring the Overlap of Autism, ADHD, and Eating Disorders; Tok-Hui Yeap, RD, CSP, LD, who will discuss Neuro-Affirming Nutrition Practices and Therapy for Children With Feeding Challenges & ARFID; and Aleta Storch, MS, RDN, LMHC, who will speak on ADHD and Binge Eating: A Neurodivergent-Affirming Approach to Eating Disorder Treatment and Care.

Through thought-provoking presentations, dialogue, and interactive sessions, we’ll explore the intersection of neurodiversity and eating disorders, challenging outdated frameworks and embracing more personalized, client-centered care. Join us as we learn, connect, and expand our collective understandingto better support all individuals in their recovery journeys. Together, we can shape the future of eating disorder treatment and create a more inclusive path toward healing.

We can’t wait to see you there!
